The C development tools are required if native development will be done on the machine.

Large pages Large pages can be enabled only if the running Linux kernel supports large pages (also called “huge pages” in Linux community).

If large pages are supported by the kernel, there should be special files in the /proc directory that indicate the number and size of the large pages.

On Linux 2.4.x systems, the /proc/sys/vm/hugetlb_pool indicates the total size of the large pages.

On 2.6.x systems, the /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages file indicates the total number of large pages.

You can change the total number and size of the large pages by changing the contents of those files. For example, you can use:

echo "32" > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages

To see the number and size of the allocated large pages use:

cat /proc/meminfo

The following output from this command would indicate that you have

16 large pages, each of the size 256MB for a total of 4GB:

HugePages_Total: 16

HugePages_Free: 16

Hugepagesize: 262144 kB

Note: Since large pages must be allocated on a contiguous memory space, the actual large page size allocated may be smaller than requested. Also, the large page size itself is not configurable. The value of Hugepagesize in /proc/meminfo indicates the system’s fixed large page size.

You may need to change the /etc/security/limits.conf file if PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) is enabled.

The OS now is ready for the large page support. To enable this feature on TimesTen, simply set -linuxLargePageAlignment Size_in_MB in the daemon options file (ttendaemon.options).

You should specify the large page alignment size in MB, which is the Hugepagesize value in /proc/meminfo.

Once you set up large pages, TimesTen uses as many large pages as possible. If there are not enough pages, TimesTen uses the normal pages after consuming all available large pages.

The turntable is constructed using premium materials that enhance performance and aesthetic appeal, adding an element of sophistication to any audio setup.

One of the key features of the Oracle B31679-01 is its sophisticated suspension system. The innovative suspension technology helps decouple the turntable from external vibrations and resonances, creating a stable platform for vinyl playback. This is particularly important in environments with background noise or potential disturbances, allowing users to experience their music as intended.

Another notable characteristic of the B31679-01 is its precision-engineered tonearm. The tonearm is designed for optimal tracking, ensuring that the stylus maintains contact with the record groove, capturing every nuance of the music. By minimizing tracking error and optimizing weight distribution, the tonearm enhances overall soundstage and detail, allowing audiophiles to rediscover their vinyl collection with newfound appreciation.

In terms of motor technology, the Oracle B31679-01 features a high-torque, low-noise motor that provides reliable and consistent speed. This is crucial for vinyl playback, as variations in speed can lead to pitch inaccuracies and a less enjoyable listening experience. The motor's design is engineered to operate quietly, ensuring that no unwanted noise enters the audio signal.

The Oracle B31679-01 also stands out with its customizable features, allowing users to tailor their experience to their personal taste. From cartridge compatibility to adjustable settings, the turntable accommodates a wide range of preferences, making it a versatile choice for both casual listeners and serious audiophiles.

In summary, the Oracle B31679-01 combines advanced engineering, premium materials, and innovative technologies to create a turntable that excels in sound quality and performance. Its focus on vibration isolation, precise tonearm design, reliable motor operation, and customization options make it a distinguished choice for those seeking an exceptional vinyl experience. Oracle Audio Technologies continues to set high standards in the audio industry, and the B31679-01 is a testament to their dedication and expertise.
